Situated near the mouth of the Douro River, Praia das Pastoras offers a serene coastal retreat with expansive golden shores. It is nestled between Felgueiras Molhe and Norte Molhe, offering a somewhat protected and rocky beach. Despite not being the largest beach in Porto, it provides an intimate setting ideal for those seeking tranquility. The beach is not suitable for activities like surfing and lacks amenities such as facilities for nude bathing or camping. However, it features a beautiful natural setting and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for leisurely strolls.
The proximity to historical landmarks like the São João Baptista Fort adds a touch of culture and history to the area.
Despite its limited facilities, the beach's natural beauty and tranquil ambiance are significant attractions for visitors looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle.
